<strong> tag inserted automatically in page

[aditi_bluekrill]

Hi,

Everything was working fine, when suddenly my joomla page content was all appearing in bold. It seems almost all my div's had been encapsulated within <strong></strong> tags. How did this happen??? I checked all my stylesheets, there is no way this should happen.

I used google chrome to inspect my code and it says

Code: Select all

Matched CSS Rules

strong, b {
font-weight: bolder;
}

Computed Styles:

display: inline;
font-weight: bold;
height: 0px;
width: 0px;

But I never wrote anything like this in the style sheets. What is happening here and how do I fix this. Btw this is not happening in Firefox.

Have you found a solution to your problem yet? I'm having a similar issue. My modules are being wrapped inside <b> tags.

Btw are you using the K2 component by joomla works? Because my problem is probably around that component, since this occurs only on pages with K2 category lists views and not for example on my Login form or classifieds component. When ever the view renders categories it inserts <b> tags around modules and other elements.

I'm having the same problem in a Category Blog page containing 4 articles in one-column format and "read more" commands. The first three are fine, heading is strong, text is normal. But the last one is all strong, i.e. bold, and this is applying to some footer text as well.
Look at this code:

! This part is fine

<div class="items-row cols-1 row-0">
<div class="item column-1">
<span class="row-separator"></span>
</div>
<div class="items-row cols-1 row-1">

! Here's the first puzzling item, but there's no effect on the frontend here

<div class="item column-1">
<strong>
<span class="row-separator"></span>
</strong>
</div>
<strong> </strong>
<div class="items-row cols-1 row-2">
<strong> </strong>
<div class="item column-1">
<strong>

! After the next heading is where the body text (begins at "<p ") turned bold
<h2>
<a href="/joomla17/index.php/programme-2012/87-accom3"> Accommodation</a>
</h2>
</strong>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<strong></strong>

I have actually corrected it with a </strong> in the HTML of the article itself, but this isn't very satisfactory, and you have to refresh it every time you edit the article. Can anyone help cure this problem properly?
